as warm as today's now friday does get just a touch, cloudy or partly cloudy, one and the slightly cooler one, but still holding on to 70's that are very warmest. as for temperatures today, the city looking really nice mid 60's at the coast. we've got some low 70's along the bay shore in mission in financial districts. even a low, 70 out towards half moon bay at the coast. 70's as well for the rest of us aside from the south bay, which is going to jump right past that 70 degree mark and up into the low 80's san jose and campbell at 81 degrees. each east bay temps mid to upper 70's for you. fremont at 79. same in concord, walnut creek and danville, closest spots to 80 for the east bay pittsburgh. you'll be right there as well. getting up to 79 degrees. a look ahead shows tomorrow just as warm as today. as i mentioned, we've got to settle cool down into the weekend. still going to be 60's to 70's, though, just right for your weekend activities. we actually stay that way into next week, right? all right, john, thank you for that. will make it a lot more progress in

the 9 o'clock hour. >> you're seeing more orange than red across the east bay. slow, not as low as it was. a lot more green along the peninsula. there you see an accident along 80 in pinole at appian way. if you are traveling there. so that's adding delays. but look from 80 only down 8.80, things are sluggish. a bridge is a look at them clean and the cameras off 60 minute ride as you're traveling into the city right now to tell you can see the cameras every day doing a great job out there. 18 min around 80 to 101, to no major issues on the san mateo bridge. richmond center fell bridge going to bridge. also looking good about 47 minutes. long 101. at about 60 minutes. the peak of the morning. so that's definitely a lot better. arias is back to you. time to winners and losers with our financial expert rob black. how the markets, rob. >> they were better an hour ago all and they've gotten a little bit worse. we're still about 3 and a half percent from all-time high. so it's a good year. it's a bad week. united airlines beat revenue.

expectations are still flying, which is nice to see 3 out of 4 companies reporting earnings. so far. we're early. only one weekend we have for beating expectations, jake. all yesterday said look, we're not cutting interest rates, more progress on inflation. that's a little bit of a dampening again. it's a strong economy. lots of jobs. so it's good news. what's bad news for borrowing costs? bad news for mortgage cost. bad for credit card costs. and now even given. >> the economy, i'm i i don't know how these stories always work when talk to rob, but i i went to barcelona and went to paris to have 2 stories about that cause. >> and parcel and i saw the super yachts. >> and thinking who owns these there? like 100 million dollars. so i yelled out to accrue person as like, hey, where's this from? and they're like, i'm not saying anything. you apparently it's like top secret. i don't know why. >> yeah, russian oligarchs don't want their yachts seized

because guys yelling and the tree. so and again, i'm saying all people the major russian that so we have to be. sales super yachts are down super that's a 650 foot long boat down 40% year-over-year as russia's basically pulled out due to the biden administration, putting are helping support russia versus ukraine. so it really is a case of if they told me that have to kill me. all right. want to i want to travel with the year. >> i didn't get on and i decided. but look at ad. all right. and i'm thinking who's going by its? it gets a money pit then i stopped in paris and everything was ready for the olympics. and paris the marathon was going on. so they got rid of that. then they were just, you know, people everywhere. they had grandstands and stuff because it started pretty soon. what do you what do you know about the business angle? >> darren spain are in paris sounds like a tv show in

paris. yeah. olympics are about 100 days kelly clarkson and peyton manning and might regard to host which is kind of strange that doesn't have that news anchor feel 2 of county clerks and queen of the daytime talk show peyton manning just kind of likable guy gas wells, new bonds. so that makes yeah, but he's also kind of an espn guy would just make a lot of sense because this could be nbc. snoop dogg. he did a fantastic job at the 2020 tokyo olympics. so he's going to be prime time walking around the city with a microphone. love that. love that. i'm kind of help. some possible talking points and the u.s. women have named their basketball team at. but it came parks. not on that missed opportunity. she'll be on company called fanatics nike all stand to make 100 million licensing. so see them everywhere. nike just got in trouble for having a bikini cut. there was little bit too high for the women's fashion

high. >> but insurance, property taxes, utilities, and maintenance, all equal over 50% of what we pay per year from home. and now with affordability lowest level since the 1980's. home insurance is up 10% year over year. it's up 6% for this year expected by the end of the year. it's up 20% from last 2 years. blended together. the average home insurance is about $2377 a year california are way higher. cause wildfires. and 10% of homeowners say i don't think i can afford renew my insurance policy. that's a scary number, daria. oh, they've doubt right? and the are so much more expensive. and i feel that you feel it one in homeowners say they can't afford a $500 repair without putting it on a credit cards. again, affordability just getting crushed on our home maintenance. we spend about $6663 a year. that's up 8.3% year-over-year. these are big numbers that shows you why the

federal reserve's having problem getting inflation, ty towards shelter down property taxes are about 4.1%. the average americans 4,062. that's not the average in california. now. now the property taxes and here are really just atlanta. so huge. yeah. >> but we have 13, which keeps it control on how much you can go up to year in charlotte. property taxes in one year are up. >> 31% die. >> because they get their booming, right. is that the idea? okay. all right. thank you, rob. thanks, tara. and if you have a question or comment for rob,

bridge around 10, a golden gate bridge the north bay brown. 30 minutes will still a little sluggish of a traveling along 101. look at your overall highways. you see a lot of green along the peninsula. 101, to 80 over in the east bay. like along 88, 80, it still seems a little congestion areas back to thanks. a lot 9.30, right now and the breaking news is what happened earlier this morning with alaska airlines. it was scary there for a minute because, you know, we had a complete ground stoppage of alaska airlines across the country. >> luckily that's been canceled. so that's the good news we've got kron. 4 charles clifford standing by out at the airport with a look at, you know what this was all about. charles. >> well, yeah, when you hear a ground stoppage of that could really ruin people's days, but it appears that this was resolved fairly quickly. let's going take a look at some video. what we know is it about 7.50, this morning, pacific time. the faa approved a ground stoppage for alaska airlines and horizon to hold

their planes on the ground. and this was due to the fact that alaska was doing a computer upgrade to their system. it was part of their system that calculates weight and balance on their aircraft. they're having some trouble with that. and so all the planes were held on the ground. there were some people on social media complaining that they were white. why are we sitting on our airplane on the runway for the better part of an hour, but it appears about 8.30, this morning that stoppage was lifted, that things are getting back to normal here at sfo. everything seems to be running smoothly. there weren't any signs of delays or problems up on the board but whenever something like this happens, there's always a trickle down effect where there could be delays and problems sort of lingering throughout the day. so if you're flying all today, especially on alaska horizon might want to check ahead with your airline before hand to just make sure everything is operating and running on time. so it's very latest here at sfo. charles clifford kron, 4 news. okay. thanks a lot. ok, >> 9.32. is the time. and in other headlines we're following this morning out of the east bay. we have
